In the last class, we watched the video explaining how to do better presentation. I astonished when I watched the section of restraint, because I had thought that adding more information on a slide had been better. Additionally, I'am not used to talk in front of an audience. So, I need to rehearse to do presentation naturally.

In the last class, we made groups and decided a topic we will talk about. After, we made groups, we began to discuss presentation with following the sheet Rab left. It helped us to expedite the discussion because it explained about basis of presentation. However, we also have to talk about the contents presentation more deeply.

In the last class, Rab gave us final feedback about our first essay. We should not write an essay through question and answer to it because writing is often limited to specific words. I used this way, so I decided not to make same mistake. Rab told us mistakes that most of us made in these  classes and tutorial. Some of them are what I made. Therefore, I think that receiving feedback is important to improve my writing skills. I hope that I will not make same mistakes and receive new advice.

In the last class, Rab explained about pictures. They help to comprehend the contents of an essay or a presentation. I think that they have useful function because they can give audiences strong impression. He also told about our essay. According to him, we should not put new opinions into conclusion. I did not do this, however, I engrave this not to make such mistakes.

In the last, Rab gave us a lecture about thesis statement by using example of psychological tests. He asked us whether our thesis statement were our true opinion or not. Also, he told us the imaginary tale about policy to foreigners. In fact, it showed the real situation of treatment for  foreigners in Japan. We should not take double standard. When I turn my attention to outside, I must turn it to inside.

In the last class, Rab pointed out mistakes that most of us made. First, he explained about thesis statement. It should consist of topic, claim and reasons. Additionally, it must not be a question. Second, described quoting. I did not know that we should make quotation smaller and indent both sides of it, if it reach more than three lines. I want to write better essay through not making same mistakes.

In the last class, I learned how to use Evernote. It enables us to clip a page and store. However, I think that zotero can satisfy me satisfactorily. On the other hand, I think that two web sites are useful. There are many videos in many fields. It helps me to find good information.
